I polished a Markov chain generator and trained it on an article by Uri Alon and al (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7963340/).

It generates text that seems to me at least on par with tiny LLMs, such as demonstrated by NanoGPT. Here is an example:

Aging cell model requires comprehensive incidence data. To obtain such a large medical database of the joints are risk factors. Therefore, the theory might be extended to describe the evolution of atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome. For example, late‐stage type 2 diabetes is associated with collapse of beta‐cell function. This collapse has two parameters: the fraction of the senescent cells are predicted to affect disease threshold . For each individual, one simulates senescent‐cell abundance using the SR model has an approximately exponential incidence curve with a decline at old ages In this section, we simulated a wide range of age‐related incidence curves. The next sections provide examples of classes of diseases, which show improvement upon senolytic treatment tends to qualitatively support such a prediction. model different disease thresholds as values of the disease occurs when a physiological parameter ϕ increases due to the disease. Increasing susceptibility parameter s, which varies about 3‐fold between BMI below 25 (male) and 54 (female) are at least mildly age‐related and 25 (male) and 28 (female) are strongly age‐related, as defined above. Of these, we find that 66 are well described by the model as a wide range of feedback mechanisms that can provide homeostasis to a half‐life of days in young mice, but their removal rate slows down in old mice to a given type of cancer have strong risk factors should increase the removal rates of the joint that bears the most common biological process of aging that governs the onset of pathology in the records of at least 104 people, totaling 877 disease category codes (See SI section 9), increasing the range of 6–8% per year. The two‐parameter model describes well the strongly age‐related ICD9 codes: 90% of the codes show R 2 > 0.9) (Figure 4c). This agreement is similar to that of the previously proposed IMII model for cancer, major fibrotic diseases, and hundreds of other age‐related disease states obtained from 10−4 to lower cancer incidence. A better fit is achieved when allowing to exceed its threshold mechanism for classes of disease, providing putative etiologies for diseases with unknown origin, such as bone marrow and skin. Thus, the sudden collapse of the alveoli at the outer parts of the immune removal capacity of cancer. For example, NK cells remove senescent cells also to other forms of age‐related damage and decline contribute (De Bourcy et al., 2017). There may be described as a first‐passage‐time problem, asking when mutated, impair particle removal by the bronchi and increase damage to alveolar cells (Yang et al., 2019; Xu et al., 2018), and immune therapy that causes T cells to target senescent cells (Amor et al., 2020). Since these treatments are predicted to have an exponential incidence curve that slows at very old ages. Interestingly, the main effects are opposite to the case of cancer growth rate to removal rate We next consider the case of frontline tissues discussed above.

I'm honestly shocked at how bad the current Facebook interface has become. I’m trying to delete a Page I own, and the platform basically makes it impossible. The options have moved or disappeared, the Page Settings menu leads to the wrong profile, Business Suite doesn’t show the Page, and the “Access and Control” section doesn’t list it at all.

Facebook keeps bouncing me between: – personal profile settings – business portfolio settings – Meta Business Suite – classic Page UI

None of them give the actual option to delete the Page. It’s like the platform actively hides the feature.

And here’s the worst part: I AM the admin. I can publish on the Page. I can edit it. I can manage everything… except delete it.

I get that Meta wants to keep pages alive for engagement and ad data, but blocking users from removing something they own is straight-up abusive UX. No user should have to waste hours navigating four different interfaces to do something basic like “delete a page.”

If anyone has figured out the REAL way to delete a Page in 2025 with the new Facebook UI (which keeps changing), please share. Meta’s documentation is outdated, and their support is nonexistent.

This shouldn’t be this hard.
